Uncommon brain metastases from endometrial adenocarcinoma, 2 Case reports |Biomedgrid

Brain tumor accounts for only about 1% of human body neoplasms, among those brain tumors, metastatic tumors take up a significant percentage, probably due to the advance treatment which makes patients' survival longer than before. Brain metastases, in North America, usually come from lung cancers, breast cancers and malignant melanomas, probably due to their relatively closer locations to the brain by anatomy. Long-distance metastases from organs below diaphragm/intra-abdominal organs are uncommon, except for renal cell carcinoma, which most often metastasizes to the cerebellum. Here we report 2 cases of endometrial carcinomas metastasized to the brain.
